HWS Indonesia in an off-white suit carries HWS Philippines bridal style, who dons a veil with a crown of sampaguita (jasmine) flowers, and an off-white mermaid-silhouette gown with embroidered, tulle sleeves and bodice, and a long skirt of layered tulle flowing down. Pale pink petals fly past behind them, as the light glows softly on the couple.

Happy Pride/ #hwsindophil Anniversary* Day 🌈💐💍💖 #hetalia #seatalia #hwsphilippines #hwsindonesia

*621 is when they signed their marriage contr– I mean, treaty of friendship.

HWS IndoPhil strike the ending pose of the Pansak Pagkawin, a wedding dance from the Yakan. HWS Philippines wears a hibulan with tempeng pangantin, badju dende, sabley with inalaman and kenna-kenna weaves, pinalantupan, and pira. HWS Indonesia wears a pis pangantin, badju lella, sabley with inalaman and pene pitumpu weaves, kandit, and barung. Both wear tanyak tanyak on their face, saputangan around their waists, sawal peyat with sinaluan weave, and jambu tied below the knees. Pien is blushing at how close the two are for a kiss.

Closeup lineart of HWS Indonesia holding his hand up as a tiny fairy HWS Philippines plants a kiss on Indo’s cheek.

Bonus #hwsindophil WIP because I don’t think I’ll return to it

While Piri is enjoying the moment (gleaming sparkles by his face), Indo turns his head to look at HWS Malaysia standing behind and playing a recorder badly. Indo is embarrassed and his only thought is, "anjir?!" Malaysia is also wearing the sailor uniform from Himaruya's chibi art. Drawn using a base by TaojatDA (deviantArt; account no longer extant).

Omake 🎶 (2/2)

HWS IndoPhil in the sailor uniforms from the chibi designs by Hidekaz Himaruya. They're standing on the bow of a ship, recreating the iconic pose of Kate Winslet & Leonardo DiCaprio from Titanic (1997), but a little more intimate. Piri happily smiles back at Indo embracing him from behind. Bokeh and sparkles abound.

It's an unsinkable ship if you asked me 🌊🚢✨ (1/2)

#hetalia #seatalia #hwsindophil #hwsphilippines #hwsindonesia

IndoPhil sharing a kiss beneath the downpour, neon city lights shining around them. Pien is barely visible but enjoying the romantic view from his perspective. As the image pans downward, the reflection of the couple on the rain-soaked street (complete with ripples from the falling water drops) is of their precolonial selves.

This is specially drawn for a scroll-down read, and not even Bluesky can do justice to that reading experience. Tumblr does, though (same username!). (3/3)

#hetalia #seatalia #hwsindophil #hwsphilippines #hwsindonesia

HWS Philippines (stuck in the rain with a gabi leaf umbrella) turns his head upon seeing that Indonesia has arrived. Pien is clearly excited.

As IndoPhil stand across one another, they're both surprised as Pien happily jumps across. Indo instinctively holds his hand out to catch Pien.

IndoPhil sharing a laugh as Pien snuggles comfortably underneath Indo's blouse, draped over his shoulders. He gives some gentle pats to Pien as well.

Indo places his free hand on Piri's cheek and leans closer to Piri's face, who is blushing intensely.

Even the colors matched up to the “Piri stuck in the rain” piece I had (mans is baiting me, I know it 😭). (2/3)

#hetalia #seatalia #hwsindophil #hwsphilippines #hwsindonesia

HWS Indonesia standing in the rain, one hand leaning on his motorcycle. Lights shine brightly from the building behind him. His gaze is forward and he is holding his blouse up as a cover (in vain). His skin is visible through his drenched undershirt.

A short sequence I drew up for the Day 6 prompt of HWS Asia Week 2023. 🇮🇩❤🇵🇭

Very much based on THAT surprise-drop, full-colored illustration of abang Indo by Hima. (1/3)

#hetalia #seatalia #hwsindophil #hwsindonesia

HWS Indonesia is wearing a horse mask and bridal veil. He is carrying Philippines bridal-style. Both are in formal wedding attire. A rainbow shines across the sky, with the sun beaming behind. A light drizzle falls from the sky as well.

What a shame the poor groom’s bride is a 🐎 (1/2)

#hetalia #seatalia #hwsindophil #hwsphilippines #hwsindonesia

Visuals: HWS Philippines (in the modern, canon appearance) is now seen smiling down at Indonesia, standing on the other side below. He holds out a hand to Piri, who runs to jump towards him. Dialogue: You still loved the ones that remained. I could not ask for a greater reward than finding you at the end of the road.

Visuals: IndoPhil sharing a loving embrace and a kiss, as the rainbow shines behind them, and flower petals fall gently. Dialogue (inside a heart-shaped text bubble): May our love story be one for the history books.

I used some rainbow myths from across the Philippine archipelago 🇵🇭 as inspiration for this short comic! (2/2)

#hetalia #seatalia #hwsindophil #hwsphilippines #hwsindonesia

Visuals: A rainbow streaks across the sky. Precolonial HWS Philippines lies on the grass, staring blankly above. He is taken by surprise when a giant tortoise nudges him up. He then sees that a rainbow bridge has manifested before him. Dialogue: In the olden days, we prayed to the rainbow to bless us with bravery in the face of death, so that we may be granted the honor of crossing the bridge to the skies above.

Visuals: The tortoise smiles on as Piri crosses the rainbow bridge. Flower petals manifest and fly past him with each step he takes as he dashes along. He then stops and stands, smiling at something outside readers’ perspectives. Dialogue: But even if a part of me has died…

IndoPhil comic I (re)drew for Pride Month 🏳‍🌈 (1/2)

#hetalia #seatalia #hwsindophil #hwsphilippines #hwsindonesia

Chibi HWS Philippines is holding out his cellphone and selfie stick as he ascends up a rainbow. Piri calls out, "Hi abang! ~ heart" Meanwhile, Indonesia is yelling back via video call, "WHERE ARE YOU?!"

Somewhere over the rainbow 🌈🛸⁉

(Human) HWS Indonesia carrying sirena Philippines bridal-style as they walk along the shore, the ocean waves rolling forward from behind them. Piri is feeling kilig, complete with hearts flying around his head. Indo is blushing intensely as he feels Piri's hand against his chest.

When they tell you there’s plenty of fish in the sea, but you’re the one I’m hooked for 🥰🎣🌊 (you could say that was a NICE CATCHphrase)

#hetalia #seatalia #hwsindophil #hwsphilippines #hwsindonesia

Sirena Piri and (human) HWS Indonesia sharing an underwater kiss above a coral reef, surrounded by bubbles. In the background is a pagi (stingray; Ornate eagle ray or A. vespertilio), a pawikan (sea turtle; Hawksbill sea turtle or E. imbricata), and a butanding (whale shark or R. typus). Sunlight shines over them from the surface.

Ako'y isang sirena
Kahit anong gawin nila
Bandera ko'y 'di tutumba

Sirena Piri chilling with HWS Indonesia on the rocky shore. Piri is holding out the turtle and telling Indo "It's you!" It took Indo 5 seconds to get the pun. Kuya. Tagalog: older brother; also used to address other men (same age or older; stranger or not). Sundanese: turtle; sea turtle is "penyu" (Bahasa Indonesia).
